Chris Ferguson’s poker challenge: From Zero to Hero
Chris Ferguson took an online poker challenge to transform $0 into $10 000
Somewhere in the middle of year 2006, Chris Ferguson, the famous professional poker player also known as Jesus, took an online poker challenge to transform $0 into $10 000 by playing online poker cash games, multi-table tournaments and Sit and Go tournaments on Full Tilt Poker.
The purpose of Chris Ferguson’s challenge
The purpose of Chris Ferguson’s poker challenge was to show poker players how, if you stick to a proper poker bankroll management, you can start playing online poker with no money at all and eventually move up the limits to play in pretty high stakes.
How did he do it?
With no money in his bankroll, Chris Ferguson had to start by playing online freerolls until he had some funds to actually buy into micro stakes online cash games and tournaments. He moved up the limits only when his bankroll management rules allowed him to.
Sticking to his poker bankroll management strategy, he turned his bankroll from $0 into $10 000 in September, 2007. He donated all the money in his bankroll from the challenge to the Save the Children Foundation.
The Chris Ferguson’s poker challenge from Zero To Hero is a great example of how important it is to have a good poker bankroll management, if you plan to play poker in the long run or on regular basis and actually make money out of it.
Besides that, starting your poker journey at micro and low stakes online poker games also provides you with lots of experience and prepares you for higher stakes.
